Cancer cure, but FDA and doctors would rather have your cash and not the cure.

I have been eating apple seeds with no ill effect.The seeds from one apple a day does me no harm.If I had cancer I would push that up to three apples a day for 3 months or longer.I have eaten the seeds from three apples in one day with no harm to me.
I used to buy into that lie too about apple seeds being poisonous.Not anymore.triffid

Vitamin B-12 has cyanide in its structure So does vitamin B-17.There are no attempts to make vitamin B-12 illegal.Only the one thats been shown to stop cancer in its tracks.B-17 occurs in nuts and seeds so cancer results from a lack of it.Not because of it.Dogs get cancer only when theyare forced to eat a manmade diet.If they can run free they will eat the B-17 loaded broad leaf grasses that contain loads of it.When dogs get sick they will eat grass if they can.I will not be eating grass however.Just apple seeds and tangerine seeds.Those I can buy for the price of food.triffid

I know eating a very small amount of them won't kill you but if a person ate about a 1/2 cup or 4 oz. of them it could kill.  It's not a lie that they contain cyanide compounds.   Chemists are not lying about that fact and I trust natural nutrionists are not lying about it either.  All I am saying is that before pushing that as a cancer cure you should take some responsibility in clarifying that eating too much of them can kill you.  If you don't agree with that then okay but now that I've posted it at least people have awareness of the potential danger.  I am very strongly against mainstream medicine as practiced in America and am very strongly for alternative and natural cures but there are some (such as a couple particular herbs) that are dangerous.  People just need to be aware and not blindly start popping apple seeds thinking they are totally safe in an unlimited amount because they are simply in a natural food item.  Would you agree with that?

I eat apple seeds each day from an apple I have as well.  There are no side effects.  I have been doing this probably for 2 years now.

Someone who is healthy may be fine with just eating that small amount.  If you have a compromised liver, kidney or some other health issues you may not do so well.  But my point is unless someone is aware of the toxicity of it as little as a few ounces of seeds can kill a person.  Most people drink chlorinated water all the time.  But drink even a small amount concentrated chlorine liquid and you'll be dead.  I just want people to be aware you can't eat a bunch of apple seeds if you think you are sick and expect to get better without the possibility that your 'cure' may kill you.  There are a lot of 'not so smart' people out there and if rumor got around that eating apple seeds cures cancer someone  might eat a bunch and die.  It's not like it's a drug or herb you have to go buy so the common access of apple seeds lends the higher probability that someone who 'heard about this cure' might start eating a bunch.  Also a big part of how toxic they will be for a person is related to whether they chew them a lot before swallowing them.  If you swallow them whole they will usually just pass through your system but if chewed they release hydrogen cyanide and enough of that at once can be deadly.
